All our masterclasses are special but the first one- with all the chaos of learning the ropes, and the deep joy of "OH MY GOD, THIS WORKS" had its own kind of magic. Brilliant, sparky, passionate was with us that first week, part of our beloved first cohort and we could not be happier to see her latest book deal, A Lick of Bitter for a Spoonful of Sweet. Huge congratulations, Lori!!

We're off to our Writing Workshop this weekend at the Hay Festival. Hoping we get a way on high weekend and not a why oh why one.

We were thrilled to be invited to lead a workshop at the Charleston Festival last week - what wonderful attendees, we enjoyed them so much, plus the Bloomsbury Group's joyous work (there's a major Vanessa Bell exhibition at the Tate later this, fyi) and the festival's incredibly thoughtful hospitality in the Green Room. All in all, a spectacular Silk Road Slippers Away Day!
